ANIMALS

music for theatre

Soundtrack composed by Jerome Baur

TRAILER

This play was conceived and written by the director and artistic director Giacomo Ravicchio.

This dramatic comedy was created in Copenhagen in the fall of 2021. Four Danish actresses play the different characters in front of the façade of a farmhouse that changes mechanically or thanks to video projections according to the scenes and throughout the show.

PLOT

Freely inspired by Orwell's Animal Farm, ANIMALS propels us into a timeless factory-farm town.

Amidst the fumes of the factories and mines, sheep, dogs and pigs live together. The sheep are the workers who toil in the graphite mines, the dogs are the "representatives of order" and the pigs are the industrial and political leaders who have profit as their horizon and very few scruples for the citizens.

In this totalitarian state, desires for freedom and fairness bubble up. But, between the stones of oppression, forbidden loves, the desire of revolt and hope stubbornly push... push...
